Chapter 11: The First Year of the New Era

"What are you doing? Let go of Xiao Liu! Sister Hua slowly walked up to Li You, wanting to influence him through her words.

And Li You didn't know the bottom of his heart, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he looked at Sister Hua nervously and said, "Don't come here again!" Hurry up and give it back to me, I'm still in a hurry to go home! ”

"It's better for me to advise you to give up your idea, the environment here is not as simple as you think, even if you are let go, you won't be able to last two days!"

Li You knew that from the fruits that had just been eaten, it could be proved that this was not a paradise, and he couldn't tell if there was a tiger with three heads and a black panther with two tails in the forest, and he gradually retreated.

When the crowd regrouped, the oppression made him want to give up the struggle even more.

These people are different from the indigenous people they see on TV, first of all, they don't talk about language communication; The second is that they are all people of different skin tones, and they are dressed in fancy clothes, some are retro styles, punk mix-ups, and so on.

This scene really made Li You lose his mind, could it be a hippie drag party?

The scene was stalemate for a while, and at this time, an old man about sixty years old walked out of the crowd behind Sister Hua. With a pair of reading glasses, he walked in front of Sister Hua with a kind face and nodded. Sister Hua took two steps back respectfully, but her eyes were still on Li You's body.

"Hello, they may be a little rude, I apologize to you for them first." The old man's voice was also very soft, which eased Li You's tense nerves slightly.

The old man didn't seem so nervous when he saw Li You, and began to pace in place, his reflective glasses flickering in the light of the torches.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Peng Bo, everyone calls me Peng Lao, I am the manager of this camp, dare to ask your Excellency what to call me?"

In the face of this dialogue that has returned to civilization, Li You also replied politely: "You are too polite, my name is Li You, just a passerby, begging you to return the things to me, I will rely on it when I go home." ”

"This?" Peng Lao raised the "key" in his hand and shook it, looked at Li You and continued: "Our elders have studied this thing for a long time, but they haven't figured out what the principle is, since you said that it is not a weapon, I will believe you." ”

After speaking, he gently threw the "key" to the tent beside Li You, and then slid down.

Li You directly put down the knife, pushed Xiao Liu out, reached for the "key", and before he could touch it, he felt tightness in his chest, and the oxygen in his brain seemed to have disappeared, and he lay on the ground in a daze.

"Alright, stop, if you activate it again, it will kill him!" Peng Lao walked to Xiao Liu's side angrily and knocked the remote control in his hand to the ground.

Then he ordered a few people to help Li You up, and said to them: "Help him to my tent, I want to have a good chat with him." ”

"But......" Sister Hua's expression was a little worried, but when she saw Peng Lao's determined eyes, she didn't say any more.

Outside the tent, people scattered in all directions, busy with their own business, and Li You's somewhat hazy eyes looked at the sky. This was the first time he had seen such a thorough and unpolluted sky, and the vast stars made Li You feel as if he was in the universe.

Entering the tent, several people pressed Li You on a chair and asked if he wanted to tie it up, Peng Lao shook his head, and they walked out.

"Li You, I think you must be full of doubts now, right?" Peng Lao still said to Li You in an unhurried tone, then pulled the chair and sat down.

"Where the hell is this?" At this time, Li You had almost recovered, staring at the "key" in Peng Lao's hand, and asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Mr. Peng returned the "key" in his hand to Li You and began to tell the story here.

In 3000 AD, the total population of the earth was less than 3 billion, and the problem of population aging was serious. Not only that, but the earth is also facing the arrival of a new ice age, so the coalition government has mobilized global manpower and material resources to develop a number of spaceships, preparing to escape from the planet that has nurtured us for generations and go to the universe to find a new home.

However, there are still some people who are reluctant to leave, and claim that after the end of the ice age, a new earth will inevitably be ushered in, and they should hold their ground. In this way, humanity was divided into two factions, one of which continued to roam in space; The other part is struggling with nature.

After a long ice age, the Earth was regained as those who remained. And from the moment the sun appeared that peeled off the clouds, the era was changed to a new era year.

"Are you saying that the people I see now are the ones who stayed?" Li You asked curiously.

Peng Lao shook his head and said, "It's not accurate to say this, we are the descendants of those who left behind. As soon as the ice age passed, the earth returned to its original state, and the survivors began to rebuild their homes with the few scientific research materials that were preserved, and life became better day by day. ”

"I think you should have electricity, why do you still use torches and oil lamps?" Li You looked at the oil lamp on the table and said stunned.

"In fact, the biggest problem is electricity." Peng Lao slowly straightened his back and sighed: "If it weren't for the ancestors who found the isotope generator set in an abandoned aerospace research institute, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to use electricity by now." ”

"Isotope generator set?"

Seeing Li You's confused face, Peng Lao explained that this kind of generator uses radioactive materials to release high-energy radiation, and it has already converted it into heat energy by wrapping radioactive isotopes in appropriate containers in the first step, and then applying shielding to control the radiation.

However, this kind of generator still comes with various dangers, and the leakage of radiation almost kills everyone, and finally the patriarchs sent people to search for leaded scrap metal, made a lead safe and hid the generator set in the ground, so as to avoid a disaster. This kind of technology itself is basically only used in aerospace technology, and most of it is in space.

Li You seemed to understand a little, looked at Peng Lao and said thoughtfully, "You should be a scientist, right?" ”

Peng Lao didn't speak, just looked at the oil lamp on the table in a daze, and only looked up after a while and said: "What is not a scientist, the people who are still on the ground are almost the same, I just live a little longer." ”

"I think you're only about 60?"

"Hehe, I'm not talking about my age, just ......"

Li You looked at Peng Lao's embarrassed face, and asked, "But it's okay, I just listened to it in that tent, did something happen to you?" ”

"Yes, we have one of the most difficult problems right now, which is that there are not only humans and a small number of animals on the planet."

These words really made Li You guess correctly, so he doubted: "When I was eating fruits, I thought they were strangely shaped, and I wondered if there were other mutant creatures on the earth. ”

"You're right, I haven't figured out what it is, I have sent out two groups of people, and now I have come back alive, hey."

No wonder, the brother in Sister Hua's mouth is probably also in these two batches. Thinking of this, Li You still wanted to continue to ask for information here, maybe he could help himself.

And Sister Hua suddenly broke in at this time, panting and saying to Peng Lao: "It's not good, something happened!" ”
